Planning an upscale event quickly becomes a complicated, expensive endeavor, but Republic Event Rentals’ founders wanted to offer a better solution. After encountering astronomical rental quotes while planning his wedding, co-founder Lorenz Esposito developed a plan. He took his industry experience and partnered with co-founder Raleigh Phillips, who believed enough in the idea to invest. The two started Republic Event Rentals, and the company recently launched, serving clients in the Charleston, SC area.
Republic Event Rentals supplies all the essentials for an elegant event, from tables and chairs to dinnerware, lighting, and more. Whether clients are planning a wedding, celebration, or corporate event, Esposito and Phillips have built a company to provide high-quality event rentals at affordable costs, with reliable, professional service that keeps customers coming back.
“Before launching Republic Event Rentals, I had the opportunity to work with Icebox and be part of incredible events like Tales of the Cocktail,” Esposito said. “Those events taught me the importance of seamless logistics and creative design in elevating events — lessons I carry with me every day in Charleston.”
The team at Republic Event Rentals offers local expertise and exceptional inventory, creating a seamless experience for clients that delivers effortless elegance along with the flatware. The company helps clients transform their visions into memorable occasions, with procedures that manage delivery, setup, and breakdown so clients can focus on their events.
“What sets us apart is not just the inventory, but the vision behind it,” Esposito said. “Working large-scale events showed me that rentals are more than just tables and chairs. They’re the foundation of unforgettable experiences. That’s the same energy and dedication we’re bringing to Charleston.”
Republic Event Rentals has a vast store of curated rentals that bring style, service, and Southern charm to every event. Customers can browse by occasion or curated rental category. The company has rentals for elegant wedding ceremonies and receptions, polished corporate events, birthday parties full of comfort and color, thoughtfully styled graduations and showers, and everything necessary for memorable holiday parties.
“Charleston has such a unique charm, from the cobblestone streets to the warm hospitality,” Esposito said. “This city means a lot to me personally, and being able to contribute to its celebrations, weddings, and milestones through Republic Event Rentals feels like a way of giving back to a place I love.”
While the company recently launched, it has already established a history of successful events, with clients frequently noting the professionalism and quality of the service they received. Republic Event Rentals is known for quality materials, attention to detail, and reliable, knowledgeable service that helps clients create unforgettable gatherings.
When clients work with Republic Event Rentals, they receive more than a wide inventory of luxury tables, seating, dinnerware, décor, and lighting. They get tailored solutions for any event, with the same attention to detail for a small birthday party as a massive corporate gala. Rely on local expertise, with strong ties to Charleston’s event and hospitality community and stylish, modern rental options designed to fit the area’s unique charm.
“Looking for stress-free party rentals in Charleston? From full-service planning support to individual rental items, Republic Event Rentals helps you build beautiful, functional spaces for any occasion,” Esposito said.
Clients can relax and enjoy the event, with the company handling all delivery, setup, and takedown for occasions of every scale — from waterfront weddings to backyard dinner parties.
